Nice photos…but too close for comfort for me…lol.
They sure are beautiful creatures and I see some at the “Community Park” quite often laying down on the path.
But to get close to them seems a little dare devil for my taste…
So thumbs up for the photographer

my 8 year old son taught me that if you see a pesky buzz-tail , show it your right boot… it will usually leave you ……..alone………………………. standing there ,one boot on,one sock fulla stickers, feeling smart …looking foolish, to a departing snake…he also said”then if you put your right ear to the ground you can hear them chuckling at you, as they slither off’……. left alone.. snakelessly wondering. was it a buzz -tail or a gopher snake????
